Malik, 18 years old

Wish submitted by:

Malik has been in care since he was 8 years old. He likes playing sports and video games, and enjoys watching cars shows on TV. He was left at school by his mom and was never picked up, introducing CPS to this child's life. The child has been moved through 15 different foster homes and spent time in 13 different psychiatric hospitals to support his behavior disorder. Most of the time these behaviors happen at school because school is a trigger for him, but we have been working on his transitioning with his aides.

Malik is an active and stylish young man who would love a pair of Nike sneakers that blend comfort and style for his daily life. Whether he's heading to school, hanging out with friends, or getting involved in sports, having the right shoes would make a big difference. Having Nike sneakers will give him the confidence to stay on the move—from class to practice and all the fun in between. With durable footwear, he can focus on enjoying whatever he's doing rather than worrying about sore feet. These shoes would fit right in with his lifestyle, offering both practicality and a touch of flair. Malik would definitely appreciate a thoughtful gift like this, one that not only boosts his wardrobe but also enhances his everyday adventures. The perfect pair of shoes could even inspire him to explore new activities, making his life a little more exciting.
